Ağrı, hem Dünyada hem de ülkemizde yaygınlığı giderek artan bir sağlık problemidir. Osteoartrit (OA)’te sıklıkla görülen ve en önemli semptom ise ağrıdır. Osteoartritte eklem kıkırdağında erozyon, eklem kenarındaki kemiklerde osteofitik hipertrofi, subkondral skleroz, sinoviyal membran ve eklem kapsülünde meydana gelen biyokimyasal ve yapısal değişiklikler nedeniyle eklem dejenerasyonuna bağlı olarak farklı şiddette ağrı oluşabilmektedir. Osteoartritin tedavisinde amaç, ağrıyı azaltmak, eklemin açıklığını ve dizin fonksiyonel kapasitesini arttırmak, kontraktürleri önlemek, kas gücünü korumak ve geliştirmek, sakatlıkları önlemek, eşlik eden hastalıkları tedavi etmek, tedavi komplikasyonlarını önlemek, hasta ve ailesini eğiterek yaşam kalitesini artırmak ve bağımlılığı azaltmaktır. Osteoartritte ağrının kontrolünde tamamlayıcı ve bütünleşik (integratif) hemşirelik uygulamaları içerisinde yer alan yöntemlerden biri de zencefilli böbrek kompres uygulamasıdır. Yapılan çalışmalarda zencefilli böbrek kompres uygulamasının; OA’ya bağlı gelişen ağrının kontrolünde ısı, stimülasyon, anti-inflamatuvar ve analjezik etkiler oluşturduğu saptanmıştır. Ayrıca bu uygulamayla ağrıda kademeli olarak rahatlama, vücut içinde esneklik artışı, daha rahat ve esnek eklem hareketliliği oluşturduğu, düşüncede gevşeme ve durgunluk oluşturarak hastaların yaşam kalitesini arttırdığı ve psikololojik rahatsızlıkların azaldığı belirtilmektedir. Bu derlemede, OA tanısı alan hastalarda oluşan ağrının kontrol altına alınmasında zencefilli böbrek kompres uygulamasının etkisine ilişkin bilgiler verilmektedir.
Pain is an increasingly prevalent health problem both globally and in our country. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common and the most important symptom is pain. In Osteoarthritis pain with different severities may occur due to erosion in joint cartilage, osteophytic hypertrophy in bones near the joints, subchondral sclerosis, synovial membrane and a series of biochemical and structural changes in the joint capsule. In the treatment of Osteoarthritis, the main objective is to reduce pain, to increase joint range of motion and knee functional capacity, to prevent contracts, to protect and improve muscle strength, to prevent injuries, to treat concomitant diseases, to prevent treatment complications and to increase the quality of life and to reduce dependency by educating the patient and family. One of the methods involved in complementary and integrative nursing practices in the control of pain in osteoarthritis is ginger kidney compress application. The studies undertaken determine that ginger kidney compress application have heat, stimulation, anti-inflammatory and analgesic are effected by the control of on OA-related developing pain. Furthermore, it is determined that with this application, gradual relaxation in pain, increased flexibility in the body, more comfortable and flexible joint mobility, relaxation in mind and stagnation, increasing the quality of life of the patients are provided and decrease in psychological disorders is observed. In this review, information is given on the effect of ginger kidney compress application on the control of pain in patients with OA diagnosis.
